EPTYou have bonus pool. Add your bonus pool to your points, those are your actual points(assuming 50% winrate, so your actual points are most likely even higher). If you're a 1k diamond with 1.1k bonus pool, you're a 2100 diamond. If you're being matched vs 2400s, it's working properly. Spend your bonus pool completely first, then make these kinds of threads.

Unless you're trying to get into tournaments that look at rating why does your rating matter to you? It's just a number...If your friends laugh just crush them in game and shut them up. | ||

Once you have one build ONLY then you should star adding aditional builds. It doesn't matter if you have "10 builds" but every game its actually different... and in fact you cant do even one build correctly. Thats why most people cant move up because they play on the flow, meaning they do not improve because every time you in different situation and you don't know how to react vs opponent build. If you try to figure out everything it's takes SO much time. Its not time effective use. No, actually most top players (well really all of them) don't memorize build orders. Its not really good for your game sense to be memorizing lists. Instead pros are using timings such as "if I want 100 gas when my pool finishes I need to put 3 drones into gas 10 seconds before my pool starts." or "if I build an infester when my pathanogen glands is 60% done it will hatch with enough energy to fungal. When you use this kind of knowledge it doesn't matter what build you are using, and you'll be a much better player for it. | ||

This is confusing, as i don't know if my hidden MMR is near the 2k diamond level or closer to the 700 diamond level. Trying to associate your MMR with a "point level" is a fundamentally flawed exercise. You cannot compare skill levels between players using the SC2 point system. The point system is directly designed to not give you any information about skill/MMR. | ||

i decided to sit down and play to use up my bonus pool points. as i playing, i get matched up against high diamonds and get +8 or +12, when i play mid 1000's, i get +22. i keep getting matched up against harder opponents yet i get lower points. this seems very pointless to me and deprived me of all motivation to play ladder. now i play my friend's account for noob bashing (i leave on purpose so i don't win)...this is more fun. | ||

steps to get better: 1- pick 1 race and stick with it 2- figure out your "niche" or what buid orders you are comfortable with 3- watch day9 dailies and other commentators/analyzers 4- set small goals and accomplish each one before progressing to the next one inevitably getting better 5- repeat steps 2-4 Hope that helps and best of luck in your endeavor ps day9 did a good little segment over looking at what caused you to lose a game not the last battle but earlier etc - in other words, i suggest watching your replays and see what first made you have an unfavorable position | ||
